Restaurant Owner Arrested After Enslaving Black Man For Years In South Carolina
A South Carolina man was forced to work over 100 hours every week for years without pay! They say he was also abused for years. The restaurant owner plead guilty to enslaving the man who was mentally ill. She will have to serve 10 years in prison plus pay the man back over a half a million dollars. This is disgusting! Why did the other employees allow this to happen to the man for all of those years? You have to speak up when you see these things.

But that initial amount was too low, an appellate court ruled in April. The man should have received more than double that amount — closer to $546,000 — from the manager to account for federal labor laws, according to the ruling.
